It's possible that pressure treated wood was used.y dad and I built our privacy fence over a decade ago, and it had some issues like that, around the same period of time, though not every single piece lol.I have one 160ft section of fence I had installed over 7 years ago. The new fence leads right into this fence. I was planning on replacing a few of the boards, but looking at it more closely I can rip apart every board with my bare hands.... so I have decided to replace the whole damn thing. At least all the posts are 100% fine. AND, I can now install the wire fence on it correctly instead of some ghetto job I was going to have to rig up. Double AND.... I will have a big bonfire!
(I think that fence guy screwed me and didnt use pressure treated wood)
It could have just been really cheap **** or poorly treated wood as well.
